DEVICE FOR PUTTING MEDICINE INTO EYES.

SPECIFICATION fOrming' part of Letters Patent No. '772,028,'datedOctober 11, 1904.

Application filed November 13, 1903. Serial No. 181,102. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE A. CARPENTER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Fort Morgan, in the county of Morgan and State of Colorado,have invented a new and useful Device for Putting Medicine into Eyes, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My object is to provide means specially adapted for administeringmedicine to a persons eyes by induction for the purpose of strengtheningweak eyes and curing diseases of the eye.

My invention consists in a device constructed and applied and utilizedas hereinafter set The numeral 10 designates a flat metal disk that mayvary in size and form as desired. It is provided with a plurality ofperforations in its central portion. A concavo-convex plate 12 isprovided with a central perforation and its circumferential edge swagedover the edge of the fiat plate 10, as shown in Fig. 3, or connectedtherewith in any suitable way as required to produce a chamber adaptedfor retaining a sponge or other suitable absorbent material, as shown inFig. 3.

The two mating chambers are connected by a bridge-piece 13 and theirouter ends provided with frames adapted to be connected with a personsears, so the device can be worn by a person in the manner spectacles areworn.

The absorbent material in the chambers is charged with a specificmedicine by injecting it through the perforations in the plates or inany suitable way to be administered to the eyes of a person by inductionat different intervals of time.

I am aware two fiat perforated plates have been combined by providingone of the plates with a rim in such a manner that the rim would keepthe two plates apart to produce a chamber in which an absorbent materialwas inclosed to retain medicine and to serve as a respirator; but in noinstance has a chamber been produced by a flat plate and concavoconvexplate by connecting their edges to produce a chamber as shown anddescribed and specially adapted for administering medicine to an eye byinduction in the advantageous manner set forth, and in no instance havetwo such chambers been combined to be simultaneously applied and worn inthe manner of spectacles.

Having thus described the purpose of my invention, its construction,application, and manner of use, the practical utility thereof will beobvious to Opticians and others familiar with administering medicine toa persons eyes.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a device for administering medicine to a persons eyes by induction, aflat plate provided with perforations in its central portion and aconcavo-convex plate provided with a central perforation and the twoplates united at their edges to produce a chamber, a second chamberproduced in the same way, an absorbent material in each chamber, the twochambers connected by a bridge-piece to fit over a persons nose andmeans for securing the device over a persons eyes, for the purposesstated.
